Slowly but steadily the forces of life yielded before the results of / the great efforts he made in those fearful years preceding the sale / of the "Rambler. " It hardly seemed as though he were subject to any / common disease, but he appeared to be dying for the reason that men of / threescore-and-ten years die,-because he had done enough living, and / because, happy as this life may become to a good man, he was prepared / for enjoying a still happier one. And God did not long keep him from the / heritage of saints.
Through the month of January, 1859, he was very comfortable, and / accomplished considerable literary labor. Probably it was during this / month that he wrote the last twenty pages of "Jerry."
